Clarify Your Thinking, Transform Your Performance

In the pressurised environment of top-level management, it is easy to lose sight of the big picture. What are your real goals - personal and organisational?

And are you using the most effective means of achieving these?

Or, is too much of your time and energy wasted on peripheral issues?

Executive Strategies™ gives you a unique 121 opportunity to clarify your strategy, the way you lead, and your decision-making process.

It takes place over 5 days and uses a proven combination of subjectivity, logic and business strategy models.

Can’t Stop To Sharpen The Axe

You've heard the expression “can't stop to sharpen the axe”?

This 5 days will save you 5 years of time and money.

You will return to your daily role feeling stimulated and refreshed with a clarity that transforms your performance.

The Workshop – 7 Key Benefits

Examine the patterns of how you think in sensory terms - not what you are thinking - and gain a better understanding of how you use your brain

Identify and clarify the sensory structure of your successful (and unsuccessful) decision-making strategies, so that you can use your existing nervous system in confident and practical ways

Discover the colour and power of your predicament, and how you can use that intelligence to inform and drive your future strategies

Identify three critical values and use them to design a compelling forward storyline that others can buy-into

Explore five key elements of a good strategy. Make sure that you are not missing any - yes, it’s more prevalent than you might think - in the articulation of your existing business strategy

Align the business - eliminate peripheral issues - through a new Zetetic Star System that you can use to filter recommendations and make decisions

Use 5 days now to clarify your real goals and save yourself 5 years

We start by exploring and framing your outcomes

This piece yields information relevant to your purpose, vision, value, storyline and specific mission objectives. It allow you to develop a coherent strategy and leadership framework.

In a way, it's the neuroscience of strategy and it maps across to the way you think and act.

We don’t tell you what to do. Our opinion doesn’t count. This process looks into your world - your subjective experience - to develop both yourself and your organisation.

5 days is actually fast

In the normal world, this exercise takes about 100 days; probably a year once meetings are taken into account.

But the strategy doesn’t work like that. And, leading global practitioners are now acknowledging that strategy is subjective first.

A notable example is Richard Rumelt in his book Good Strategy Bad Strategy. He says

'Looking at things from a different or fresh perspective can reveal new realms of advantage and opportunity as well as weakness and threat'.

Perspective is personal and subjective.

So this workshop is designed to illuminate different perspectives from your conscious and unconscious mind - to look at what drives you - it’s subjective first.

This means that you get to see precisely how you think and act and tick.

It can take some people years.

But you are able to achieve results in just 5 days because we have over 30 years’ experience distilled into that time frame.

So we know how to get you there.

Don't take our word for it, read what our clients have to say about it. But, we can confidently say that you will find this course truly transforming.

Sometimes, it’s true, we may ask you to think about questions you would rather not ask yourself.

But stick with it and you will discover a set of tools which enable you to dramatically improve your performance as a business leader.

What's new?

You start from the inside out.

We are mapping the structure of your subjective experience because this is where your real leverage is - subjective strategies with structure.

It might be the first time you look at it this way but you will recognise it when you do:

We want to know what you want, how you see it, what it sounds like, and how it feels when you have it.

And you are introduced to personal and original research (which codes the strategies of specific winners from business, academia, and sport) to support the performance claim made here.

Here is what you can expect:

You complete an Executive Strategies Outcome Audit before arriving because a good strategy has a personal connection with your potential.

During the 121 workshop you will be talking, walking, and listening.

We want you to recognise how you think, the way you relate to yourself and others – and the way you form a strategy.

You get tools and techniques that help you to form a good strategy - create value over time - and lead.

You get to see it all laid out. It puts you in charge. You are no longer limited by one perceptual frame.

And, you develop a new awareness of the structure of your subjective experience.

This is a tremendous help in all aspects of strategy, leadership and management because this is how your brain works.

Who is it for?

Chief executives

Who am I?

I have worked with chief executives for over thirty years and can help you to make your business or firm successful.

What sets me apart is a combination of management science, yoga science, and neuroscience - as it is applied to strategy, leadership, and management.

This means that we talk about your subjective experience, give it structure, and translate it into meaningful and measurable business objectives.

My clients are the people who are responsible for the long term value of the enterprise. So, it’s not about sectors for me - you are the expert in your sector - it’s about the chief executive.

They have included: Bayer, General Foods, Loop, Hindustan Aeronautics, Aviva, NHS Employers, Eden Project and professional service firms.

Assignments include high-risk capital decisions; corporate, brand, and market strategy - from development through to execution; CX, culture within the context of strategy, innovation, and coding know-how for commercial value.

I have co-founded six startups in the professional services sector, including Merchants global CX BPO.

During my MBA at Ashridge Business School, I specialised in strategy and market entry via acquisition.

And, my CPD includes over 6,250 hours in the language of Persuasion and Influence.
